keep 'em from leaking the air out.??


It doesn't matter what **** you put in a tube because it has no
reinforcing cords to maintain its shape. Any air pressure will cause
even a small pinhole puncture to enlarge, rendering any "slime"
useless. The only effective option is to remove the tube and put a
patch on it. Adding "slime" to a tube will only introduce a
contaminant, reducing the likelihood of a permanent patch.
